Madalena, I enjoyed the story with this image. Now, I know perhaps the origin of your village huts so often seen in your paintings. Your two earth mothers are so vibrant and full of love as they gaze at you and hold you protectively. Beautiful! voted

Thank you so much your comment!
I can not stop to be sad, with what is happening in Mozambique. His people are so kind and generous, but their leaders... uuuff.
Did you visit Mozambique on holiday?

Hello Madalena, I LOVE your profile, very interesting and sad and so true. Your artworks are amazing, full of color, vibrancy, woman and expressive of your experiences. I agree with all you say about Mozambique, I visited there a few years ago and what a sad sight, that beautiful country still bore the bullet holes everywhere, it has been torn down from the beauty it once was, only a 'few pockets' of beauty left. I hope you have found peace. All the very best to you. Hugs, Caroline.

Artist's Description

I dare to say that everyone who grew up in colonial Africa had a white mother and a black mother. Both were important and left an indelible mark on us.
Each contributed with legends, stories and traditions of different worlds, by creating us both with love, taught us that it is possible to love the different and the opposite.
I am grateful to the two women that armed me together as a better person.

It all starts with the journey imposed from the old world, the colonial Portugal to Mozambique, in Africa, full of black ethnicity , magic, shapes, textures, lights and a fantastic colorful splendor .The distance between my dormant origins and the sudden awakening does not exhaust the endless question: Who am I? I experiment this fabulous latitude, mixing it with other lives, other pains, with the purity of color and pattern of tiles they call...
